Stopping Smoking

Hypnotherapy will provide you with all the necessary resources to stop smoking provided you know that you want to stop.

The benefits of stopping smoking are felt straight away as your levels of toxic carbon monoxide fall very quickly.

The levels of carbon monoxide in your body will be the same as a non-smoker after only 24 hours of not smoking. Your circulation will also begin to return to normal.

The pattern of smoking is established on both a psychological and a physiological level.

It is the psychological dependency that provides people with more difficulties in stopping smoking than the physical withdrawal from nicotine.

A study of 72,000 smokers was conducted by Frank Schmidt and researcher Chockingham Viswesuaran from Iowa University and showed the following success rates for different methods of giving up smoking:

    Stopping Smoking Method ......................................... ..Success Rate
  • Medical expert telling someone they have a life threatening disorder.........36%
  • Hypnotherapy.................................................................................30%
  • Excercise/Breathing technique........................................................ .. 29%
  • Smoke Aversion technique.................................................................25%
  • Acupuncture...................................................................................24%
  • Nicotine gum...................................................................................10%
  • Self-help books.................................................................................9%
  • Will-power........................................................................................6%

I offer a one-off, long hypnotherapy session, involving a combination technique of questioning, behavioural analysis, inductions, metaphor, hypnotic suggestion,confusional games, motivational anchors and positive reinforcement.

When you are ready to give up, just give me a call to make an appointment. it would be helpful for you to have your diary to hand so that we can avoid any particularly stressful dates for you. I will e.mail you a smoking questionnaire which you will need to complete and bring with you to your stopping smoking session.
